:1 r 4 .1 ,4 President To fiiSc I ee Augusta, Ga.-iUPD-President Eisenhower told a news con ference today that he plans to ask Congress for higher ap- propf iations next year for the American space program. The chief executive' also said that if Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris, who has announc ed his retirement as head of ;the Army Ordnance Missile Command, has any complaints he would like to hear them personally. The President touched on a broad range. of space and mis sile topics today as reporters plied him with numerous questions stemmeing from his announcement Wednes day that the Army Ballistic Mis sile agency will be shifted to ;the civilan control of the na .' tional aeronautics and space '. agency "to strengthen the na tional space effort . . ." Mildly but still plainly, Ei- senhower rejected the theory of Medaris as stated by a re . porter, "that '.we are strad dling the issue of competing with Russia in space." The chief executive said he I does not think the space pro- gram should be regarded -purely as a competition with some other nation, .ftrmy Program Curtailed He had no apologies what ' ever for the military missile ' program and said the agency's . switch ordered Wednesday ' merely represented the fact that the development of the the "super-booster" rockets , for outer space should now be the sole concern of the civi lian agency, with the Army continuing its own develop- v ment of strictIyvordnanc'e mis- siles. - -: As for Medaris'- use of the .' worc4"straddling," . Eisenhow ; er said with a trace of annoy Plans ncrease Outlays ance that he does hot know exactly what this meant, but he thinks Dr. T. Keith Glen nan, administrator of the space agency, well defined the American program for major space exploration and that this was a "positive, progressive program." On the question of money, he was asked flatly whether he planned to ask for an in crease in space funds. He said definitely he would seek something more than Con gress provided in the current fiscal year. The president recalled that for fiscal 1960 he asked $590 million. Congress cut this, he continued, by about 68 mil lions, and then restored some of the cut.' Praises Rocket Experts The President could offer no specific figures, but he said his request for . fiscal 1961 definitely would be something more than the gov ernment got for the current year. He paid particulart tribute to what he called the bril liant scientific work of Wern her von Braun and his team of rocket experts, saying they were now free to concentrate on the development of one powerful booster. Presumably this was a reference to the Saturn project. In the meantime, he said the strictly military projects of the Army would remain under the Army ordnance re search program which would proceed with all possible help from NASA. . Some 'scientists believe the dust layer on the moon is only inches deep. Others think it may go down as far as five miles. La Poinle's F-L-E-K-l Now at I P .

(UPI Telephoto) Quick Congressional Hoped for Washington - (UPD - Admin istration sources said today they hoped Congress would give quick approval to Presi dent Eisenhower's latest re shuffling designed to speed the nation's space effort. The administration wants to avoid a long drawn-out con gressional inquiry into the transfer of the famed Wern her von Braun rocket team from the Army to the civilian space agency when the Senate and House reconvene in Jan uary. But initial reaction from congressional military experts indicated the lawmakers want to take a careful look at the shift. The reorganization would become effective 60 days after Congress was of ficially notified of the plans ARE Charge Accounts You may either use it as a regular 30-day charge account by paying 30 days after billing date . . . with out service charge or, may use it as an E-X-T-E-N-P-E-D charge account, up to "6 months to pay with a small service charge that is based on the unpaid balance only.

Call For Studies Chairman C h e t Holifield (D-Calif.) ordered the staff of his House Military Operations sub-committee to make a thor ough study of the shift. Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) call ed on Chairman Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) of the Sen ate Space committee . and Chairman Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) of the Senate Armed Services committee to under take separate investigations. Von Braun said he looked forward to working with the civilian agency. He said the "major concern" of his team was to continue to take part in the U.S. space program. ' One of the chief advantages of the shift, administration L Med ford 6) aft fSlS'flifl t$ Approval sources said, could be a speed up in development of the Sa turn rocket booster which will have 1,500,000 pounds of thrust - more than twice the power of the rockets Russia is believed using in its Lunik programs. Major Army Project The Saturn is the major project at the Army Ballistic Missile agency in Huntsville, Ala., where the team of scien tists and technicians headed by Von Braun is based. Eisenhower announced at his vacation headquarters in Augusta, Ga., late Wednesday his decision to reverse a 1958 ruling and transfer the main part of the Army Ballistic Missile agency , to the Nation al Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration (NASA).
